Did you mean Estrogen Receptors?

Glossary Estrogen Receptors

proteins that bind estrogen, influencing cell behavior and function

Estrogen receptors (ER) are proteins found inside and on the surface of certain cells that bind to the hormone estrogen. When estrogen binds to these receptors, it can influence the behavior of the cell, including growth, differentiation, and function. These receptors play a crucial role in various physiological processes, including reproductive health, bone density, and even hair growth. In medical research, ERs are significant in understanding conditions like breast cancer, where the presence of these receptors can influence treatment options.

community Having androgen receptor density and sensitivity at wrong f*ing place

in Satire 7 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on the use of topical minoxidil, microneedling, finasteride, and dutasteride, while debating the role of testosterone and DHT in hair loss. It also touches on the potential liver health impacts of these treatments and the genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens.

community Alternatives/unorthodox hairloss protocols to the big three

in Chat 1 upvotes 8 months ago

The conversation discusses alternative and unorthodox hair loss treatments, including RU58841, nandrolone, and dianabol, as well as theoretical approaches involving high doses of estrogen and selective estrogen receptor modulators. These methods are considered extreme and potentially harmful but are explored for those unable to tolerate traditional 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.

community Is there a topical androgen receptor blocker so we don't have to fuck with the enzyme and destroy our allopregnanolone, but go and hit the end target straight?

in Treatment 44 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses topical androgen receptor blockers for hair loss, mentioning Clascoterone, Pyrilutamide, GT20029, and RU58841. Ketoconazole's effectiveness and application methods are also debated.

community How insane would it be to take estrogen until all your hair grows back, then getting off of it and taking fin or dut to maintain

in Chat 69 upvotes 8 months ago

Using estrogen for hair regrowth is considered ineffective and risky, with potential side effects like breast growth and hormonal changes. Alternatives like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil are suggested, but estrogen is not recommended unless transitioning.

community High Estrogen causing hair loss?

16 upvotes 3 years ago

A 24-year-old male using topical finasteride for hair loss is experiencing thinning despite treatment and has high estrogen levels. He is seeking advice on whether high estrogen could be causing hair loss and how others with high estrogen levels have addressed it.
